Store Your Decor

December 31st, 2009 · No Comments

At the end of the holidays, do you haphazardly throw your decorations in bags and boxes and put them in the garage or the attic until next year? It’s probably not the best idea if you have some sentimental family ornaments, or if you spent a bit on all the glittery and pretty things that [...]

A few of my favorite things

December 29th, 2009 · No Comments

With New Year’s just around the corner–and a slow week of recouping and hanging out at home–I’m all about getting organized, streamlining and starting out fresh. I’m giving my bathroom drawers, medicine cabinet and makeup bag a huge overhaul, and throwing out that cleanser and other random products I’ve had since ‘08.

Stores Open Late on Christmas Eve

December 24th, 2009 · No Comments

Who’s a last-minute shopper? Not me, that’s for sure. I learned the hard way and now always buy my Christmas presents online a few weeks in advance. Well…mostly. I still have one or two things to go and grab today, and luckily, plenty of time to do it. Many stores are staying open late today [...]

A Tisket, A Tasket, A Snuggie and a Slanket…

December 23rd, 2009 · 1 Comment

I went to two holiday parties over the weekend where we had to bring a gift for a white elephant gift exchange. For these I usually like to visit my local thrift stores and find unique and artsy finds to donate so that I’m not responsible for just disseminating more junk out into the world. [...]
